Do you support Abortion in the case of rape?

I say yes. If a woman is raped, she had no choice.

 

I support abortion for any reason, in fact I don't think a woman should have to explain her motives when choosing to get one to begin with. The circumstances of conception should be irrelevant, especially to pro-lifers who believe a fetus is a human being deserving of rights.

 

Let her abort when she wants to, if she wants to. Not my business what she does with her fetus.

 

I don't know, ive never been raped

 

I would, if only we knew which women were telling the truth about being raped.

Less than 1% of abortions are peformed because of rape.

Assuming we knew for certain that the woman was actually raped, she should seek out an abortion immediately after the incident. There is no excuse for waiting around for two months, letting the zygote grow into a fetus.

 

how would she know there was a fertilized egg immediately?

 

Abortion does not un-rape you. In fact, for a woman that has been raped, an abortion can be like being raped a second time all over again.
Two wrongs do not make a right.

 

none of your business

 

I'm sure that's what NAMBLA says too.

 

youd have to ask them

 

Or carrying to term and giving birth can be like being raped all over again (except it happens for a long nine months). Either way something is coming in/out of the womb and vaginal canal whether it be by abortion or by giving birth.

Being able to choose after rape is a highly empowering experience for women, it often times gives them control over a situation they feel like they had no control over which is their reproduction. Reproduction was forced on them and they take charge and either continue it or end it in this instance. It is just one step in regaining a feeling of control over their own bodies (that which the rapist took from them) and a huge step in the healing process.

I think we all can only hope that no woman should ever have to experience a pregnancy after rape, but it does happen as rare as it may be.

 

Yup, taking away CHOICE is not a good thing....you agree???

 

Maybe YOU could tell me the difference between an abortion due to rape and an abortion due to consensual sex....NO other Anti-Choicer has ever done that.

 

being forced to have your rapists child can be like being raped a second time...

 

without any shadow of a doubt the answer that should be given by any reasonably minded person is yes.

 

Yes, a second time AND for the rest of the woman's life IF she keeps that kid.... a constant reminder, a life long obligation, financial difficulties, and possibly being forced to deal with the pig who fathered the kid.

But Anti-Choicers think that's just WONDERFUL!!!! (Because it didn't happen to THEM)

 

Rape is just a part of God's plan.

 

If you were familiar with the way gestation takes place...you would not make such a silly comment.

 

Off topic and not even remotely related. Nothing new on YOUR part.

 

I dont support it, but I also dont condemn a woman who feels like she needs to kill the baby. Its a (*)(*)(*)(*)ty situation all around. But why should the sins of the father be taken out on the child?

 

Gotta build straw men and bring in a new topic when you know you can't make a decent argument in favor of your position for the actual topic at hand.

 

Why should the 'sins' of the rapist be taken out on the woman and force her to go through 9 months of pregnancy and then painful labor and childbirth?

Something lifers will never understand, she is not murdering a child when she has an abortion, she is killing a embryo/fetus and ending a pregnancy prematurely and that is it.

 

If the fetus is life abortion for any reason is murder. Rape doesn't change that fact.

 

Thats why its (*)(*)(*)(*)ty. The woman has the choice to kill the baby or live with it. Not everyone can forgive or look at the brightside of what the child in her life can mean, and I do understand that.

Its a movement on the goal posts. They are alive and you calling it "just an embryo" is the way you justify it in your head that its not killing. Just because of the age of the baby, you think its ok to kill. How many "abortions" would we have if the definition of life hadnt been changed by progressives and the baby in the womb was called what it actually is.

 

I'm not anti choice in the case of rape. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
